Job details:
As we enter a phase of strategic growth, we’re looking for a high-energy team member who can bring together strong relationship-building skills with smart, AI-enabled execution. If you’re excited about using AI tools to unlock time and scale — while still doing deeply human, values-driven work — this role is for you.
The Role at a Glance:
This role sits at the intersection of two critical pieces of our fundraising strategy:
- Building U&I’s readiness and capacity for philanthropic grants, and
- Engaging with High Net-Worth Individuals (HNIs) and ecosystem champions.
You’ll use emerging AI tools to increase productivity, personalize outreach, and stay on top of both grant pipelines and relationship-building workflows.
You’ll work closely with internal stakeholders across programs, communications, and leadership, and be supported by an internal AI mentor to help build AI-supported systems and workflows.
What You’ll Do:
Grants: Research, Readiness & Management
- Research and maintain a pipeline of grant opportunities from philanthropic foundations and individual donors.
- Write compelling proposals, reports, and decks tailored to each funder’s interests and giving philosophy.
- Work with the communications and programs team to gather impact data, quotes, photos, and other assets.
- Redesign and maintain U&I’s grant-facing documents and website to reflect our mission, impact, and credibility.
- Use AI tools to accelerate grant discovery, proposal writing, and reporting — while ensuring a human touch in all communication.
- Track deadlines, application stages, and follow-ups through an organized grant management system.
HNI Engagement
- Identify and connect with HNIs, business leaders, and ecosystem champions in education, philanthropy, and social change.
- Draft personalized communication for outreach, follow-ups, and meeting preparation.
- Build a growing network of U&I supporters, mentors, and advocates through thoughtful and sustained engagement.
- Leverage AI-based Sales Development Representative (AISDR) tools (e.g., Salesrobot, CharityGPT, Claude) to scale smart outreach without losing depth.
- Support event curation, closed-door conversations, and 1:1 meetings that help deepen donor relationships over time.
Who You Are
- You have 1-3 years of experience in fundraising, partnerships, donor relations, or business development.
- You’re a great communicator — written and spoken — and know how to adapt tone based on audience.
- You love connecting with people and are confident approaching senior leaders, philanthropists, and ecosystem stakeholders.
- You’re organized, proactive, and follow through on conversations and commitments.
- You’re curious about AI and excited to integrate tools that make your work more strategic and scalable.
- You believe in the power of education, and are drawn to U&I’s mission of community-powered change.
